    WTF has happened to my profile pic?  Can anyone see it?  It seems to have disappeared! 

    T
    Due to Mrs TPH working late, and the joy of roadworks, I've just only set up camp and sat down to an isotonic sports scotch; all ready to fight the imperialist running dogs at the first Namsoft of the year.  

    Du ban GI!

    Hope you had a good weekend. We were at AI500, but wished we were at Namsoft pretty much as soon as it started  ?

    Off to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S. tomorrow.  Kit in the van and Giger counter ready. 

    Only missed one game, but I'm looking forward to this one even more.  The effort put into the props and site are terrific.

    Educate yourselves airsofters.  The pith helmet is a summer essential.  Everyone should play in one.

    And don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes.

    Hehe I saw that a few days ago and thought of you.  Nearly sent you the link ?

    I can't believe that I've just watched a 10 minute documentary on pith helmets!

    It was enjoyable though.

    Last S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S. game of the year this weekend.  The lad is working.  Mrs TPH has an old school friend over from overseas.  I'm being pulled about in the local hospital.  

    Bloody gutted!

    Looked forward to this for months.

    Crikey mate.

    That sound like a messy procedure. Bloody Gutted.It must be serious. Best of luck.?

    Bad news about missing the game though ☹️

    Enjoying the stars and a few ciders at Cajun Chicken.   Great weekend so far.

    I'll have to content myself with polishing my jackboots with people's shoe polish.  ?

    Swine! 

    I hate it when people are enjoying themselves and I'm not!

    Not coming to Cold War?  We need WARPAC badly

    I can't really do two weekends in a row.  I promised to support Cajun Chicken last year before the dates were out.  I will do Cold War at some point next year though.  Hopefully Denn will get a better date for CC after the low attendance this time around.   

    I expect that I'll do S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S. next and that'll be it for themed games this year.

    All deposits paid for Cajun Chicken in October.  One of my favourite games of the year.  

    The game is based on the film Southern Comfort.  Bloody good fun.  Time to don the dungarees and shotgun!



    T
    Just booked my Operation Thunder tickets for the weekend after this.

    Bloody excited just thinking about going.  Since I'm training pretty hard at the moment, my black PJs do emulate the pong of a chap whose been in the field for too long a couple of times a week.  

    Du ban GI!

    T
    Off to Diggers tomorrow in deepest Kent.  Black pyjamas, RPK and pith helmet packed.  

    I can hear the screams of the imperialists already.  Shame the weathers more Northern highlands than Southern Delta but there we go...

    That's the Ho Chi Minh padded jacket packed too.

    Du ban GI!

    Getting my loadout ready for a game the weekend after next.  This post apocalypse look is seriously harder than it looks.  Reckon my 1970s Warsaw Pact kit will be a good base.

    Gas mask is de-filtered and ready.

    Snow Wolf K98 is shooting uncannily well as usual.  

    TM 1911 is fine for a magazine a fill.  If it's cold I'll use red gas.  Since we're limited to 17 BBs it will be fine capacity wise.  

    Nice to have a game less than an hour away (ish).  

    Camping in October is fine if you have the kit.  A touch of medicinal scotch will work wonders too no doubt.

    it's events like that that make me want to open up my Tanaka m700 and see what's up with it as it's not shooting how I want it to (yes, I have 3 gas m700s!). It's in a real wood m700 stock and definitely can look the part for post-apoc; will bring it to Namsoft in 2023 if it's shooting well by then, which I sincerely hope it would be!

    What event are you going to and where? Hope you have fun with it!

    I'm off to Stalkers at Tuddenham next weekend.  

    I'd like to see the wood m700.  Certainly looking forward to Namsoft next year.  Last game of the season has come to mean the coming of the autumn.  

    When I find what I know is lurking in the house kit wise, you may get a pic @Rogerborg.  I've a pair of 1930s goggles that I want to re-lens for one.  Should be on my dead Nazi tankman's skull but someone has moved them.

    Just checked when a game that I am interested in playing is on.

    Turns out it's 9am tomorrow morning and I forget to get tickets.  Bollox.  

    To console myself I bought tickets to all of the remaining Nam games and a modern milsim.  Even ironed on a set of PAVN collar tabs ready for stitching.  

    Still have to fix my pith helmet.  This may become a priority.  

    T
    Going off for Vietnam themed silliness again this weekend.   

    Still picking the thorns out of my knees after the last game.  

    Still haven't got round to getting a cheap set of gel filled kneepads.  

    I have bought two slabs of ale and a bottle of Stoly though.  

    T
    Just had a look at some CYMA AK47 midcaps.  Several going at around £20, the cheapest being £13 odd after postage.

    I'm sure I paid less than £4 per 70 rounder from TG about six years ago.  

    First world problem and all that but still.

    I've been getting some bits and pieces from SIXMM although for anything larger than a letter the postage is a killer.

    Was gonna get some midcaps from there but they wanted £37 postage just for a box of 5

    It’s a pain to get any CYMA / TM AK parts at the minute for whatever reason.

    Close to binning it and getting something M4‘ish..

    And just like that one of the lips on a Cyma AK74 Hicap just tore off. Of course I can't get anything reasonably priced in Rip off Britain! Got these for 4 quid each before. Cheapest I can find it is 13 now.
